Count my vote too. I thought it was due to the lack of blood flow because of the loss of flexibility. Yes, it's worse when I put my arms under the pillow, face down. I'm just starting to make it thru the night without the problem, basically re-learning how to sleep on my back.
Then, there's the occasional pool of sweat....
These are the sides your friends that use don't tell you about!

I always thought it was from lack of blood flow too - b/c when you remedy the situation, it feels like it is filling back up or something, so it made sense.
then I read about it and they say that it is nerves that are getting pinched above where the sensation occurs. so if your arm is asleep, that means there is a nerve in your shoulder (more likely your armpit) that is getting pinched by your now larger muscles.

My shoulders are so big now that when I sleep with my head on my pillow with my arm under it, it hyper extends the shoulder joint down and makes my arm go numb.
I know the felling I'm only 5'6 210 lbs now 230 here I come, I'm kinda bulky big arms and wide shoulders the only way I can sleep is with pillows and face down and arms straight down by my side or these arms will go numb and they will not recoop for the next day of lifting, try laying with your arms down and see the difference in recooping and helping the circulation.

Only way you could get me to sleep with my arms by my side is if you hit me with a hammer and tied me up. I have this weird clostrophbic thing about having my arms by my sides when I sleep. Only other way I can sleep is with my arms straight out to each side like a cross but my wife gets pissed when they slap her in the face when shes sleepin.
